Summary |
"From the arrival of the First Fleet to the present, Irish immigrants and their descendants have been at the centre of Australian life. Sinners, Saints & Settlers takes the reader on a journey through the Irish experience in Australia. It seeks out places around the nation that tell of Irish lawyers, farmers and publicans, and many others, and how central their stories are to any sense of what Australia was and is. The echoes of that Irish presence are everywhere - in a city street, a distance lighthouse on rocky cape, a railway museum or in the stained-glass windows of a country church."--Back cover |
